xVictron Skylla-TG 24/30 GMDSS 120-240V Battery Charger
The Victron Skylla-TG 24/30 GMDSS is a 24V, 30A professional-grade battery charger designed for marine and safety-critical applications that require GMDSS (Global Maritime Distress and Safety System) compliance. It accepts a wide AC input range of 120 to 240V, making it suitable for use across different shore power supplies and international vessels.
Key Features
- 24V output at 30A continuous charge current for reliable battery maintenance in demanding environments.
- GMDSS-compliant design, meeting the requirements for Global Maritime Distress and Safety System battery charging installations.
- Wide AC input voltage range of 120 to 240V accommodates varying shore power and generator supplies without manual switching.
- High-frequency transformer design delivers a compact and relatively lightweight unit at 7.4kg for a charger of this output class.
- Suitable for use with lead-acid battery banks commonly found in marine and commercial vessel electrical systems.
- Built to Victron's industrial standard, consistent with the broader Skylla-TG range used in professional off-grid, marine and vehicle applications.
Product Overview
The Skylla-TG range from Victron Energy is built for professional and commercial installations where charger reliability is not optional. The GMDSS variant of the 24/30 is specifically intended for vessels and installations that must comply with maritime safety regulations governing emergency communication battery systems. GMDSS regulations require that the batteries powering distress and safety equipment are maintained by a dedicated, compliant charger, and this unit fulfils that requirement.
The 120 to 240V AC input range means the charger operates correctly whether connected to North American 120V shore power, European 230V supplies, or generator outputs that may vary under load. This removes the need for step-up or step-down transformers in mixed-voltage environments. At 30A output into a 24V bank, the charger is well suited to medium-capacity battery systems where recovery time after discharge matters.
As part of the Skylla-TG family, this unit shares the same high-frequency transformer topology that keeps weight and size manageable relative to output. At 7.4kg, it is practical to mount in confined engine rooms or below-deck electrical panels where space and structural load are considerations.

Installation Notes
Installation of GMDSS-compliant battery charging equipment on commercial vessels must be carried out by a qualified marine electrician and is subject to flag state and class society survey requirements. Ensure the AC supply is correctly rated and protected with an appropriate circuit breaker before connection. Battery cabling must be sized for the 30A output current and kept as short as practicable to minimise voltage drop. Verify battery chemistry compatibility before commissioning. This unit is not intended for DIY installation in safety-critical maritime applications.
